Critical reception
Edwin Ortiz of HipHopDX commented that the album "invokes a general ambience of positivity that you'll rarely find these days." Meanwhile, Will Georgi of Okayplayer said, "[the] sanctimonious vibe just makes me feel like a difficult teenager and want to do anything but listen to Zion I & The Grouch."
